Minségres

Minségres is a fictional municipality in the central highlands of Veridia. It is presented as a rural wine-producing village with a compact town center and surrounding agricultural lands. The name is traditionally traced to Occitan and Latin roots connected to vineyards.

It lies on a gentle plateau at roughly 320 to 420 meters above sea level, sits along the Mirant River, and is surrounded by vineyards, oak forests, and small orchards. The climate is temperate with warm summers and moderate rainfall, suitable for viticulture and fruit growing.

The earliest records date to the late 12th century, with a parish church documented in 1184. The village passed through feudal control and saw modest growth in the medieval period. In the 19th century, a small rail line broadened trade and connected Minségres to larger towns. During the 20th century, modernization included electrification and the expansion of cooperative farming.

As of the early 2020s, the municipality has around 1,200 residents. The economy centers on family-run vineyards, fruit orchards, small-scale cheese production, and rural tourism. The village maintains a cooperative winery that markets regional products.

Notable sites include the 12th-century Saint-Laurent Church, a stone bridge dating from the 16th century, and the town square hosting an annual harvest festival with wine tastings, artisanal foods, and crafts.
